Previously performing page no longer ranking

The best performing page on my website www.danielalexandra.com/personal-training/ has suddenly completely fallen off the google radar and all of my ranking results for keywords have dropped significantly as a result.

My domain is only 4/5 months old but was already becoming relatively competitive and generating some interest until this?

"My domain is only 4/5 months old but was already becoming relatively competitive"

If you get ranked very quickly upon you released the site it might be the case that Google ranked your site much better than it should be because that's what Google do. Some people say it's the best to do backlinking for the first seven days upon launch of the site and before the Google index it for the first time.

Newly sites are usually ranked better in order to determine their real value so they drop a couple of months later unless you apply good SEO techniques to keep it there. When you say suddenly, how long did you mean? Few days, a month or it was getting worse and worse for a few months?

If you type site: www.danielalexandra.com/personal-training "personal training" you will see that the first page in the eyes of Google is http://danielalexandra.com/personal-training/personal-training-packages/ for "personal training" keyword. Is this the keyword you are trying to rank for?

Personally, I would pretend that nothing happened and continue building quality backlinks to support the keyword.

I think my main concern is not so much that my domain has dropped but that the pages which I want to be successful have fallen way behind less important pages on the website such as the personal training packages being above both the personal training page and the homepage.

Previously the Personal Training page was the highest rank followed by homepage and these have completely fallen off.

It is worth pointing out that my homepage has a domain authority of 32 and my personal training page 25. The domain authority of the pages ranking best and which are less relevant is less than 16.
